Fall of Albion (Accepting, Started)

[NeophantomX]

In the magical world of Albion where many races co-exist together more or less peacefully, order is maintained by the imperial family of Valencia who rule over the land fairly and competently. The royal army works to protect the citizens from crime and preserve order, as well as protect the towns and villages from the many monsters that roam the land. Those creatures known as monsters come in all sizes with the larger ones usually hunting alone and far from most settlements while smaller ones usually hunting in packs and like to hunt around forests and other such areas not too far from settlements. Many patrols are often sent out because of this to try and keep as many roads safe as possible for the many travelers across Albion. Mercenaries are often hired however to help slay monsters and keep roads safe, often hired by the towns themselves and so mercenary work is plentiful with no shortage of work to go around.

However over the last couple years there has been more and more reports of a strange new group that while very small in number is composed of frighteningly powerful members. Referred to as nothing short of utter monsters in power that seem to just cause random acts of destruction and violence and don't seem to have any real goal or motivation. Though they do seem to have some sort of control over lesser monsters the method of which is currently unknown. Just what is this new group who refer to themselves as the War Gods and just what is their true intentions and goals? Dark times may very well be in store for the land of Albion but weather this is the story of the Fall of Albion or it's salvation is for you to decide.

Welcome to the land of Albion.

Wolf Form
Name: Zaleria Nallvir
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty Two
Species: Lythari, which was originally a Forest or Wood Elf that have the ability to change into a wolf at will. Unlike true werewolves Lythari keep their sanity and mind when they change and they do not change into unthinking killers therefore. However Lythari are so far from “normal” elves that they are seen as a separate race not really akin to elves anymore.

History: Zaleria was just a young girl when her clan was attacked. Her race was almost completely massacred. As far as she knows she is the sole survivor from those dark years. She was only seven when it happened. It wasn’t the monsters that whipped out her race but the combined efforts of a couple clans of elves. They disliked the Lythari clan and believed that they should exist. Ever since her father had saved and hid her that fateful night she roamed and learned to survive with nothing but her wits and what she had learned from her parents. It wasn’t until she was fourteen that she was shown mercy and kindness by an Elf. From that day forward without the elf’s knowledge she followed her and protected her while still remaining hidden.
When she turned Twenty One they had met again face to face when she saved the young elf’s life from a pack of hungry monsters near her town. They became friends on that day and were inseparable despite the looks and attention Zaleria would receive based off her bright crimson eyes and long silver hair.

History: Madelyn is the daughter of the primary mortician of Albion. Ever since she was a little girl she has been around the dead helping her father out in the morgue any way she could. Madelyn's mother was the leading military nurse so Madelyn also saw very gore wounds and how to fix them with limited resources. When she was ten she began to prep the bodies for her father by storing them and making them look pretty again. When Madelyn was sixteen the military allowed her to enter the field; where she also helped her mother stitch up fallen soldiers and bring the near to death back to a stable existence. Madelyn loved helping both of her parents even when the soldiers flirted with her and some even tried to get her to sleep with them. Most gave up when she refused but one held a grudge and later on attacked her to rape her on her way home late one night. This was when she had met Zaleria for the second time as she scared the man off before the full damage was done. When Zaleria saved her and she recognized her from the first time they had met she accepted it as fate and took her home since Zaleria had no home. Her parents feared for her since Zaleria was of the Lythari race but kept it to themselves even though they knew she would most likely die at her hands.

When she turned seventeen the war gods found out about her during a couple of their raids and promised no harm would come to her family if she joined them but when she refused they killed her parents before her and said the same fate would befall her brother if she did not come along.

He enjoyed his life there in the village and made sure to always obey his parents and practice hard at using his magic, wanting to become strong enough to aid his parents in battle some day. However when he was six that life came crashing down when a horde of monsters attacked the village and destroyed it after a valiant struggle by the villagers, all of which possessed at least slight combat training as a tradition in the village. Leon wasn't sure how he survived though when he was lying near death after the attack he heard a strange voice telling him that it could not allow him to die so easily as his body emitted a strange light. A day or two later he was picked up by a passing military unit that had been sent to investigate rumors of a horde of monsters forming in the area around there. Leon was shocked to see the heads of numerous monsters handing on the sides of the soldiers horses and recognized some of them as belonging to the horde that wiped out his village. The leader of the soldiers identified himself as a member of the royal knights and mentioned how that horde wont be harming anyone else again.

Appearance: http://www.esterior.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/0011.jpg
Name: Mathias
Gender: male
Age: unknown, been sealed for a very long time however.
Species: Humanoid monster
Affiliation: War God
Weapons: the blade Balmung in pic which is bound to Mathias allowing him to summon or dismiss the blade at will.
Skills: being created solely for fighting that is his only real skill though he is still quite intelligent and possesses a high level of control over his chaos energy that courses through his body.
Magic: Chaos magic which is the control of the chaos energy that courses through his body.
History: Mathias was created by an association of mages a very long time ago for one simple purpose, and that was to slay monsters. One monster in particular in fact, one that was considered and still is considered invincible. Known to all as either the Mother, or the Queen that monster was the source of all other monsters and was the one who birthed the worlds first other monsters. Far too powerful to destroy the Mother was sealed away before even Mathias was created, though the mages of the time believed it only a matter of time before the Mother returned to the world and so they wanted a solution. Their solution was to use a monster to destroy a monster and so their research and experiments began. To create something powerful enough to destroy the Mother they knew they needed an extraordinary power source and so they decided to tap into the boundless chaos energy of the world and contain some of it within a humanoid monster's form. Thus the knights of chaos were born and Mathias were among them. The mages used ancient forbidden magic to allow the knights of chaos entry into the seal of the Mother with the intent to destroy her while she was still within the seal. The attempt proved disastrous, the knights were unable to deal any real damage to the monster who regenerated just as fast as they damaged her and over half their number were wiped out before they had no choice but to withdraw before they were all wiped out. After that the mages had a new idea, they would use one of the other aspects of chaos that which consumes and corrupts almost anything it touched. They would force the remaining knights of chaos fight among themselves until only one was left who would absorb the energy of the others to become more powerful then they could ever be individually, as well as the energy of countless monsters to gain the power needed to slay the Mother. Mathias won that competition, though he grew disheartened from having to slay his brethren, the only other members of his race who considered each other as family bound together by their fate and the chaos energy that flowed through them. Mathias deciding that if his own brethren must fall to complete their goal of slaying the Mother than the other races should not be exempt either and turned his blade upon all the races of the land as well as monsters, becoming a traitor in the mage's eyes. Realizing they had created a monster who needed to be stopped they worked together with an alliance of the other races as well as the support of the Golden Dragon to finally defeat Mathias as he was almost ready for his rematch with the Mother, sealing him away within a special prison where he was to hopefully stay until the Mother had awakened. Though thanks to Avalon and the War Gods he was now free to once again amass power in preparation for his one defining goal, the death of the Mother.
Other: his full title is Mathias Knight of Chaos though he mainly only uses it when he is to face someone in combat for the first time.


Appearance:
Name: Roland Ashvare
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Species: Nephelen
Affiliation: Commander of Duke Giovanni's Dark Knights and as such leads his generals
Weapons: A magic transforming blade that can shift between a knightly long sword and a large greatsword depending on what it's owner desires.
Skills: Swordplay, leadership, charisma, hand to hand combat, aura magic,intimidation,tactics.
Magic: Aura magic ( See Leon's profile for specifics on what Aura magic is and what it can do. )
History: Roland is actually the older brother of Leon Stark though neither of them are aware of this fact. At a very young age Roland was kidnapped from the village by an unknown assailant and sold into the custody of an underground slaver ring. With his memories of his family and life before erased through magical and drug induced means. The slavers were in the business of training child gladiators and having them fight among themselves for the entertainment of whatever sleazy nobles, merchants and others who pay to enter, as well as profiting off betting as well which was all too common in any kind of arena. And Roland with his Aura magic inherited from his family and his muscle memory from what training he had gone through with his family quickly rose to become their champion winning every match he was in despite whatever odds were put against him. His skills and ability improving with every match and from his gladiator training. He never questioned who he was or why he fought he simply did as it was all he knew. That was until Duke Giovanni hearing tales of the child gladiator Roland's impressive ability decided to pay a visit to the slavers to watch one of his matches. Seeing Roland's impressive power and his vast potential the Duke paid the slavers a vast sum to purchase him as he decided his ability would be better served working for him then killing barely trained children or later adults for the entertainment of essentially scum and lowlifes. Upon doing so he granted Roland a magical blade the one he still uses to this day and gave him his first order. To kill the slavers who were breaking the law with their organization and free the slaves they had. Roland took the blade and did so with great glee, his power easily overwhelming the slavers guards as he cut them all down swiftly. That event made Roland eternally loyal to the Duke for saving him from such a meaningless life and giving him purpose with Roland formally swearing his loyalty to the Duke and his service for as long as the Duke has use for him. Many of the freed gladiators grateful to the Duke and Roland for saving them and having nowhere else to go also swore loyalty to him and with Roland would form the basis for the Duke's new generation of Dark Knights. Roland perfecting his Aura magic and martial ability through intense training and going on to become the commander of the Dark Knights and thus the Duke's right hand.
Other: Roland is a man of honor and thus will not kill woman or children unless left with absolutely no choice. Though if the woman is a warrior he will not dishonor her by refusing to fight if she challenges him. Nor does he talk down or disrespectful to opponents who fought with everything they had. He is considered by many to actually be quite handsome, though as most woman are intimidated by his strength he has never had a relationship that was more than a one night fling and even those are quite limited.

Bump.  

[NeophantomX]

I hereby declare this RP open. You may now begin posting. smile  

[NeophantomX]

Avalon smiled wickedly as he stood floating over a large pool of some strange black fluid that bubbled and shifted almost as if alive. At the center of the pool sat a huge crystal almost the size of a man if they were curled up. The crystal was gold in color and seemed to emit a faint light almost like a glow and a slight feeling of power could be felt coming from the crystal, a sure sign that there was indeed powerful magic at work with this gem. Avalon had seen two other gems like this as well earlier also within this place, which was incidentally a large ancient temple long since abandoned by it's creators for at least several centuries. Avalon had discovered this place in his constant search for magical knowledge and secrets and was thrilled by everything he had found within. Due to the temples extremely hard to reach location deep within a monster infested, fog shrouded forest nestled in a mountain valley Avalon had decided on it becoming the base of operations for the War Gods. During his exploration of this temple he had already discovered two more crystals like the one he now stood before one in the East wing and one in the West wing, both deep within and several stories down sealed behind dozens of magical seals and barriers to keep others from finding the gems.

It had taken Avalon awhile but he eventually broke through them all and made it inside the rooms to find the gems, as well as a large powerful monster within each of the chambers serving as guardians for the gems. Avalon had managed to slay the beasts though they had managed to wound him as they were quite powerful. This crystal though was different it had several more layers of defenses than the previous gems and this one was located in the deepest reaches of the temple on a floor that had actually been sealed off and hid though Avalon managed to discover its location by going through the ancient library he had found also within the temple. The tome that had the location was originally destroyed into pieces likely to prevent the location from getting out but Avalon managed to reconstruct it with a magical artifact he had found on his many excavations of old ruins in search of magical knowledge.

The tome had contained much information within it detailing more on the temple and why it and the crystals existed in the first place as well as the spell they used to seal off the lowest level of the temple and the location of the hidden passage. It also had some information on another subject of interest to Avalon and the War Gods, the super ancient being known only as the Mother said to be the original source of all the worlds monsters. The truth of the temple that fascinated Avalon was that the entire huge temple was not really a temple at all but actually an ancient prison created solely to contain 3 prisoners. And that the cells were actually those golden crystals kept in those 3 rooms. The tome mentioned that the first two crystals belonged to two ancient monsters of vast power said to have been so strong that the people who built this temple were unable to actually slay them and thus sealed them within those crystals instead as they had no other option. However for this third crystal it didn't mention who or what was within it only that it was sentient and that it warned against unleashing that one most of all. It stated that freeing this third one would be the epitome of foolishness citing that it took a great cost as well as the aid of the legendary Golden Dragon to seal it away and that the writer feared for all the people of the land should that being ever manage to return and reclaim his lost power.

That got a chuckle out of Avalon as well as heavily peaked his interest in this third crystal especially. This crystal had 3 guardians protecting it each highly powerful and even Avalon had to employ the help of other members of the War Gods to effectively bring them down. The guardians were mindless creatures who's sole purpose were to guard these crystals and so were beyond controlling even with Rin's remarkable ability to communicate with and control monsters. Now that he had finally gotten through to this third crystal Avalon found himself oddly drawn towards it, his natural curiosity for all things magic as well as a belief that the War Gods might be able to make use of whatever was sealed inside. After all if even part of what that tome suggested about this thing was true then Avalon was certain it could be put to good use especially with the latest plan Avalon was concocting. Reaching out his hand he prepared to touch the crystal and remove the seal on it to free the thing inside.

Rin Hotaru

Rin lay on the floor of the ancient library. She was exhausted and barely conscious. She had been forced to assist Avalon with the guardians of the crystals. In the West and East wings she was able to partially subdue them but would lose them to rage and instinct when they were attacked. She had to fight against their most primal instincts to keep them from completely obliterating the crew within the area. Even then injuries had occurred and Avalon had received the worst of them. However when they came to the central crystal in the lower levels Rin found herself unable to make contact with the guardians but found herself overwhelmed by a force greater than she had ever felt before. The force was so strong it moved through her body, soul and mind and knocked her unconscious.

Her brother had been the one that moved her from that place to the library and had laid her on a table under one of the few lights that lit the old ancient room. She had found that disturbing feeling as if she was about to be experimented on or was under some kind of supervision. However she wasn't alone as she laid there in her new spot on the floor. A small monster, as they called them, had joined her and sat on her stomach. Its size could be compared to a house cat but other than that it was quite different. Its head looked like that of a dragons with a decent sized muzzle and two petite horns on its head instead of ears. Its eyes were an unnatural electric blue. Its spine was ridged with spines and its tail was whip like and scaled. Its body was strange between patches of short fur and scales blending together and covered the small creatures body. The fur was a pastel blue and the scales a slate gray, the color of concrete. It feet were the size of a large breed dogs, appearing un-proportional to the creatures size and also signifying that it would be big when it was fully grown. The feet looked similar to a dragons by having thick talons on the end of each toe. The creatures tongue was also unique. It was a dark blue and forked as it licked Rin's cheek as she stroked its head and scratched under its chin lightly.

By this point her brother had begun talking to her once he noticed she had regained consciousness. However she only heard about half of what he was saying and the rest was lost on her. Her mind was to full of thoughts concerning the crystals. She had had a weird feeling from the first two located in the East and West wings and desired to examine them again. The last crystal she wondered exactly what it could have been that overwhelmed her senses so intensely. Before she had passed out she had just heard something that could have been yelling or a loud roar but her memory was a blur and it pained her to recall anything she might have picked up from that particular crystal.

Kaito Hotaru

Kaito always followed his sister Rin everywhere despite how angry the war gods got with him. He wasn't going to let anything happen to his baby sister especially with what he referred to them as psychos controlling her fate. He had joined the fight against the guardians and suffered some minions injuries but managed to make sure no hard befell his sister as she attempted to communicate with them. It wasn't until the central crystal that he got truly angry and had to scoop his sister up and nearly fight his way through the other war gods that had joined the fight to get her out of harms was when she went unconscious. He feared the worst and took her to the library where he laid her down gently on a table that was under one of the few lights within the library. It made it easy for him to keep an eye on her and watch for any of the pervs that wanted to mess with her.

He ascended up the latter that led to the higher shelves as he began to search for anything regarding the crystals despite the fact that he was fairly certain Avalon had removed them all for his own personal research and to keep his true intents a secret. It was shortly after he had looked over about three full shelves from top to bottom that his sister finally awoke. He had come down to her side as she had sat up before she moved to the floor. He knew she didn't like him making a fuss over her and so went back to examining the shelves after satisfied she was alright. "Those crystals are quite unique i wonder what exactly Avalon wants with them. There has to be a reason and those guardians. You have never come across one that you could not communicate with." Kaito said as he opened a book glancing over its worn pages before looking over his shoulder at his sister who had found herself yet another strange friend. "I have never seen them have such an affect on you before... it worries me and it worries me even more to think he might demand your attention there again. I wonder if now that the guardians are gone because i'm sure he killed them like the others if you are safe to return there" he said before putting the book back on the shelf. He didn't really understand her powers because she had a hard time explaining them especially since he was a equation type thinker in how he processed things and worked them out in his head. So when it came to her explaining her strange ability he was lost.

When she did not respond to him he sighed before turning his attention back to the countless books among the vast sea of shelves.

Zaleria Nallvir

Zaleria lay out under a tree on the edge of town where Madelyn lived. She sat with her back leaned up against the tree with her head tilted back against it. Her eyes were closed and her hair fluttered gently in the light breeze that was passing through. Her feet were swept to the right and her hands lay lifeless in her lap which barely kept her skirt from flipping up but allowed it enough movement to the edge of the pleats to ripple like waves on her thighs. she had no weapons with her since Madelyn had a way to transport them effortlessly. She appeared peaceful and looked almost like any other elf would. Her silver hair was the only curious thing about her as she sat their drifting in and out of sleep.

Her ears twitched occasionally as she drifted between the sleep and being awake as they listened to the wind, the light rustling of the leaves above her and the faint voices within the town before her. She was waiting for Madelyn to return from the job boards and meeting with clients to discuss the details. She allowed Madelyn to handle everything because she only cared about Madelyn's safety. Zaleria had also made sure she had a way to let her know when she needed her for any reason. It was a high pitched whistle that her people had use to use during hunting or attacks to let others know where they were. she had taught it to Madelyn so she was free to move around without getting the looks of fear, anger, and most of the time a mixture of both. Zaleria gathered a lot of attention from the locals in the area mostly because they had negative views on what she was and the fact that they all believe she should be dead but wont do anything about it. Some have tried to kill Zaleria before but their attempts were futile due top her whit, ingenuity, the attackers fear but most of all Madelyn's presence.

Zaleria sees herself as Madelyn's protector but most see it as the other way around. They see it as if she is only using Madelyn as a meat shield, another trick for her own survival.

Madelyn Vontrap

Madelyn had left Zaleria out on the edge of town to collect their reward from their most recent operation and also to look into more jobs posted on the boards. It was hard to find work sometimes due to the fact that her partner was a Lythari but thanks to her quick thinking and pleasant way of spinning it they were able to find work plentifully. She had made her way down the cobble stone pathway to the job boards before grabbing a couple posting off and heading out. She was fairly good at directions and this being her home town she knew it like the back of her hand. Despite the comments of those that have known her all her life she continues to keep Zaleria around and still finds it pleasant to have her home as their base that they return to when they cant find work or have a while between jobs.

She met with several people around the town and got hired on a couple of simple tasks like collecting certain materials from the surrounding forest, delivery missions, and a couple that requested them to escort someone back from the town to the north. Madelyn was fairly good at coordinating missions so they lined up and Zaleria and herself could finish them effectively and efficiently. Madelyn also didn't mind Zaleria staying just outside the town because she quested it was easier for her then having to deal with the towns people. Also Madelyn found it quite fun talking to the different clients on her own while still knowing Zaleria would be there in a heart beat if she called.

After she had finished making the final arrangements with the last client she went into the market to collect some essentials. Their mission to escort a client to the next town would be a two day journey so she wanted to be prepared to accommodate their temporary companion. They would be leaving bright and early the next morning for that mission so the rest of the day could be spent collecting the herbs, fire wood, and sport that a couple other clients had requested.

When she reached the market she waved her hand before her slowly before she reached into the dark sphere before her. She pulled out a hand made wicker basket that Zaleria had made for her close to when they had first accepted missions together. She then closed the sphere by waving her hand back across it opposite of how she had to summon it. She moved through the market with a smile as she began looking at the fresh food and selecting ingredients they couldn't get from the forest to make the meals on the trip to the northern town.

Avalon Silvers

Avalon gently laid his hand upon the crystal, using his magic to flash freeze the black waters below him as he sensed that they were the final defense for the crystal and he refused to allow himself to fall for such a thing. Constantly reapplying the freeze to keep the waters frozen and out of his way he gently pressed his fingers into the crystal's surface causing an instant reaction as Avalon unbound the spell keeping the crystal sealed and marveling at how complex the spell was. The crystal absorbed magical energy straight from the earth itself for a virtually unlimited energy supply, further showcasing how much the creatures within were feared by their jailers. Finally the crystal seemed to relent as cracks began to appear all over it, spreading outwards from where Avalon's hand made contact with it. Then at last with a violent shake that could be felt all across the temple a powerful thick miasma like substance burst from the crystal as it shattered into pieces with a blinding flash.

Avalon having sensed the crystal about to finally open had wisely released his grip on the gem and warped himself backwards to the other side of the room just escaping the flood of miasma that had burst from the gem. Then as the flash finally faded the swirling miasma condensed in on itself forming a cocoon of sorts around where the center of the crystal had been. Avalon could not help but stare in awe at the sight before him as a feeling of vast unease swept over him, a feeling little could install in the master mage and Avalon could tell that it came from the strange miasma that had come forth from the crystal. Suddenly at last after what felt like an eternity the miasma cocoon began to swirl even faster before dissipating in an explosion of some strange energy as a single being emerged from within in what seemed to be the shape of a man. Clothes seemed to form on the man as if like magic as the man began to take a few steps forward his features becoming fully defined as he did so. At last he stopped walking as the man opened his eyes revealing a piercing gaze that seemed to fill all who looked upon them with unease. A strange aura similar to that miasma seemed to occasionally emit from the mans body which made it obvious there was more to this man than meets the eye.

Just then at that moment the man cleared his throat as he spoke his voice strong and carried easily all across the room. " ...My name is... Mathias... Knight of Chaos. Now... I shall feed." spoke Mathias as that black miasma suddenly burst fourth from his right hand as it shot forward in Avalon's direction.Avalon went to erect a barrier to protect himself when he suddenly noticed that the miasma wasn't going after him but rather the corpses of the guardians that had protected this chamber. Flying upwards away from the path of the miasma Avalon watched with great interest as the miasma actually engulfed the guardians spreading all over their bodies like a plague spreading over it's victim. Almost as if still alive the corpses seemed to emit a sound like screaming in agony as if the souls of the monsters were being engulfed as well and were screaming in agony at being enveloped by the miasma. The miasma quickly did it's work leaving no trace of the bodies as the miasma receded back into Mathias body. Avalon could not help but smile wickedly at the sight, it giving him a swarm of ideas and plans that the War Gods could use Mathias and his strange power.

Leon Stark

Leon sheathed his blade swiftly as the last of a group of monsters fell dead to the ground, their bodies sliced into pieces from Leon's blade work. The monsters were strange wolf, spider like hybrids, possessing the body and head of a wolf but the legs of a spider, ending in large blade- like protrusions that seemed to act as claws of sorts. The creatures were almost as large as horses and could move at fairly high speed making them a real menace for anyone traveling through their territory. Leon had been hired by some Northern village to patrol the route between them and some Elven village ( the same village Madelyn and Zaleria are currently in ) and to find the rumored nest of these beasts and wipe them out to make the route safer for travel again. Normally a job like that would employ a a group of mercenaries due to the danger it presented but Leon was confident he could handle it alone, believing if he could not handle a few monsters on his own then he had no chance at becoming a royal knight which was his goal and dream. Taking out a dagger he kept at his side as a secondary weapon of sorts as well as a multi purpose tool, he began to cut out some of the pieces from the monster corpses looking for those parts that he knew would be somewhat valuable to village and townsfolk. Such as organs that had medical or nutritional value as well as some of the fangs and blade portrusions as they were often used in the crafting of certain weapons. Being that they were more common and more easily available in certain villages than metal ores and in some cases were even stronger as materials. Such as the larger monsters whose fangs were often reported as being able to crush steel and pierce even the thickest of monster hides.

With that task now complete he gathered it all together and stuffed it all within a large bag made out of an extremely durable material that his adoptive father had supplied him with when he left home on his journey. Hefting the bag over his shoulder he began to slug on down the nearby road towards the Elven village that was not too far from his current position. The reason being to sell off the extra loot he had acquired to lighten his load for the trip back up North to the town to report his success. Some of the creatures claws to be brought back as the requested proof of the success of his mission. Moving fairly swiftly for someone hefting a large bag of heavy loot over his shoulder, Leon simply thought of the exercise as well as any battles that he fought as training to better himself. All in order to reach the same level as he adoptive father who was one of the royal knights who's strength Leon had seen first hand in his sparing matches with him when he often trained with him. Finally seeing the Elven village in the distance Leon could not help but smile lightly to himself happy to be able to get rid of all the crap in his bag and get back to handing in his mission as well as pick up more work along the way. Combat was one of the only things he was good at after all as far as Leon was concerned although his father constantly told him otherwise.

Zaleria Nallvir

Zaleria still lay drifting in and out of sleep under the tree. She could hear foot steps in the distance but quickly made out that it was human. She did after all have keen wolf instincts. She could tell it was not a predator based off the sound of each step, heavy, confident, yet relaxed. She soon heard Madelyn's foot steps heading towards her from the other direction within the town. They were light, and had a bouncy sounding quality to them. Zaleria still saw Madelyn as a child even though she knew she was not but certain things about Madelyn made her believe in her child like innocence and pure intentions.

Madelyn's foot steps came to a stop and had become slower as she most likely saw the other steps Zaleria had heard. The light crunch of the rocks below her feet was slower but still light almost inaudible. It was then that she heard Madelyn's gentle voice. It was soft and sounded like a little silver bell. Zaleria tilted her head up before rolling it popping her neck. "Its fine M. It isn't a threat." she said before standing to her feet and stretching. She then smiled and chuckled lightly "I should have known letting you go alone would result in sweets" she said lightly. Zaleria's voice still feminine was almost rough as if showing off her past. However when she spoke to Madelyn it had a softer side almost like a silver lining.

Madelyn Vontrap

Madelyn had just finished her shopping as the market was closing. She slipped the basket back into the dark portal she used to carry their things. Pleased with herself she stopped into the bakery and picked up a pair of sweets to share with her companion as a surprise. Madelyn was always spoiling Zaleria but then again she had quite the sweet tooth herself and used Zaleria as an excuse.

With the small box in hand she began making her way back to where she had left Zaleria. She hoped that she had not gotten distracted and wandered off which happened from time to time when she left Zaleria alone.

When she came to the border of the city she found Zaleria just where she had left her but could see someone off in the distance. She watched the figure for a moment before speaking "There's something coming this way" she said in a soft low voice that only Zaleria would have heard. Madelyn was very protective of her town since it was where she had grown up and took it on herself to become its personal guardian.

Rin Hotaru

As the temple shook with the release of the seal of the crystal Rin found herself alone. The small creature she had been playing with had jumped from her and faced the direction of the crystal. The scales on its tail spiked out making its whip like tail look like barbed wire. The ridge alone its back also stood bristled and the creature snarled. As it's lips pulled back its pure white fangs could be seen lined with jet black gums. The creature seemed to buzz as it stood there ever growing tenser. If you were to look closely at it eyes or body you could see small tendrils of blue electricity dancing.

Rin sat up just as fast as the small creature had left her as the temple shook. Some dust from the ceiling and walls trickled down with the sudden movement. It was as the creature that emerged from the crystal, Mathias, that Rin's mind light up alive with his presence. She released a scream of pain and she reached for her head. She could feel him even though the library was on the other side of the temple. The rush of power through her mind made her heart race and sweat began to form on her forehead. She had not been prepared for such an invasion of herself when she had just been connecting with such a small monster.

She began to breath heavily and was mumbling his name. "Mathias..." every couple of seconds. She couldn't help it from flowing past her lips but in a strange way it was releasing the tension on her mind and body. "Mathias... Knight of Chaos..." It was then that the small creature had fled from the room and could not be found. "He's reborn..." was all she had said before falling into her brothers arms. Except this time when she had spoke it was different it was not her voice. When she had said Mathias' full name and title it had been his voice overlaying hers and her last statement had been a chorus of various voice never heard before.

Kaito Hotaru

Kaito clung to the ladder as the building shook before looking to his sister as her scream filled the corridor. He quickly slid down the sides of the ladder and ran to her side sliding on his knees. He reached up a hand and brush some hair from her face as he cupped her left cheek in his hand. His right hand was locked on her shoulder as her scream faded but could still be heard echoing within the corridor. He looked into his sisters eyes which were void of everything they had once been. They were cold and empty as she mumbled his name. Kaito went through his thoughts and came to one conclusion that the crystal had been opened and his sister was now in pain because of Avalon.

He quickly took his sister to his room and laid her on his bed before locking the door and leaving a strong electric barrier so none would be able to enter. He raced through the halls pushing roughly past curious subordinates and dumbfounded war gods. He slid around corners before finally slamming his hand against the large door frame of the crystals room to catch himself. "Avalon..." he had uttered in an angry tone before he saw the last of the guardians. They were in pain even though they had been dead at least that's what they had all come to conclude. Their skin was black and they looked like they had been infected by a fast acting poison of some kind. He drew his twin blades before his gaze fell upon the man he didn't recognize. "Let me guess your Mathias..." he said angrily as his knuckles clenched white and he had caught his breath.  

[NeophantomX]

Leon Stark

Leon silently hurried himself a little as he now neared the village entrance eager to get inside and get this task over with. He always found selling the loot and other such picked up from monsters to be such a pain as it could be very tedious depending on the market. Though he knew the extra coin could very well come in handy someday even though mercenary work was never in short supply. Besides selling hordes of loot was another way to garner greater fame and renown as bringing in a large amount of loot usually meant the person or group in question was quite skilled and almost always attracted attention. That could mean more clients and even more challenging jobs to better himself and surpass his limits. Something he made sure he was always aware of and to not get in over his head, if a situation was out of hand there was nothing wrong with a tactical retreat. Fighting intelligently was another large aspect of strength after all. However much Leon hated the thought of having to withdraw with monsters right in front of him, monsters who often bring death and destruction everywhere they go.

Coming up the the entrance at last Leon noticed what appeared to be two elves at first glance from the distance he saw them at. Though as he got closer he quickly realized one of them was by no means one of the more common kinds of Elves. The silver hair chief among the unusual features though Leon brushed it aside as it did not matter what type of elf she was, or even if she was an elf at all. She was definitely not a monster or at least not any monster Leon knew of and he doubted she was a threat to the village. It did not matter what a persons race was to Leon as long as they were no allies of monsters than they were no enemies of him. Granted the only ones he knew of who were allies of monsters at least threateningly were the War Gods, a group no one seemed to know the true motives of. Once he got close enough to the pair to speak to them without having to shout he spoke up. " Hail I am a mercenary come to this village to sell my loot taken from a monster nest. I go by the name of Leon, Leon Stark to be precise. Where may I ask is the market for this town? Preferably one that takes in loot taken from monsters. This is my first time visiting this village so I am not aware of where it would be located." explained Leon politely. He prided himself on his manners, something he picked up and learned from his adoptive father.

Avalon Silvers

Avalon looked over as Kaito arrived into the room and drew his swords at the sight of Mathias. He was going to say something to Kaito and have him stand down but then he got an interesting idea. He would have Kaito here see if there was anything to this Mathias guy or if the people who sealed him up were simply weaklings who panicked over nothing. Though Avalon could tell that there was definitely something to this Mathias he also did not believe Kaito would let himself die to him and if it seemed like he would then Avalon would have to intervene. After all if Kaito died the War Gods would lose not just him but Rim also and Avalon still had things planned for her. And the fact that she was fairly attractive did not hurt either but that was another matter. Stepping back from the two to ensure no arrant attacks hit him and erecting a barrier for good measure he watched to see what would happen. If " Oh hello there Kaito I take it your sister must have had quite the reaction to Mathias here waking up? If that is indeed the case then the surest way to get her to recover would be to... deal with Mathias here though do be careful, I sense something quite unsettling about his aura." spoke Avalon letting Kaito know how he stood on the situation.

Mathias meanwhile turned to face this newcomer Kaito as he saw the man draw his blades as Mathias merely stared at him for a moment before finally speaking, his voice much clearer than before as if he had grown accustomed to speaking already in such a short time. " ... So your name is Kaito then? Yes I am Mathias though your knowledge of my name is.... surprising I do not recall telling it to you. No matter you do not lack for strength, a worthy enough foe for me to make sure my sword arm has not dulled after so long has past. And besides... I still desire to feed and your energy will aid me in recovering my full power." spoke Mathias as he took a few steps forward, his miasma like aura pulsing widely as it began to swirl around him making it obvious he was preparing to enter battle. Then Mathias held up his right hand as a magical pentagram began glowing from the top of his hand. " Oh blade of destruction, instrument of my will. Respond to this pact that binds us eternal and appear before me now. Your master calls you now. Arise now mighty Balmung." chanted Mathias as a huge sword appeared in a flash of light, sending out pulses of energy as it appeared. A sign that this was no average magical weapon though the size alone likely made that clear. And the fact that it came as part of a pact was another bad sign as only very few weapons that Avalon knew of were strong enough to actually form a pact with it's wielder. And the name of the blade Balmung also struck a cord with Avalon though he could not recall how off hand. Mathias aura seemed to swirl around and mingle with the swords as if in familiarity with it making it obvious that Mathias had possessed the blade for a fairly large amount of time, discounting the time he was sealed of course. Mathias then swung his large sword in a swift movement releasing a wave of that strange miasma at the same time, the wave likely being an intentional attack and would inflict substantial damage if it made a direct unguarded hit. "So that miasma seems to be a type of energy that Mathias can control at will, interesting I will have to study this strange energy when I get a chance." thought Avalon to himself as he watched the attack.

Zaleria Nallvir

and

Madelyn Vontrap

Madelyn smiled at Zaleria's mention of the sweets "I got your favorite though" she said toying with the lid of the box before Leon got closer. Zaleria smirked lightly at Madelyn with a light chuckle which made Madelyn smile. When he spoke she turned her gaze from Zaleria and smiled sweetly. "The markets closed for today but I do know of a shop that is still open and he pays generously for monster remains if you have the right stuff." She said before he opened her black hole and slid the sweet box inside before closing it. She then turned to Zaleria "you going to wait here again?" she asked. Madelyn was so trusting and gentle her innocence surrounded her fully. She was also very confident of herself. "Oh excuse me how rude of me I neglected to introduce ourselves. My name is Madelyn Vontrap and this is my partner Zaleria Nall..." She began saying with a curtsy before looking up at Zaleria. Madelyn always had trouble with her last name since it was a dead give away of her Lythari culture and came hard to pronounce for elfin races.



"Nallvir" Zaleria inputted before nodding her head slightly to Leon. She met his gaze with her bright crimson eyes that for a second were wild, wolf like before they eased up but were clearly watching him for any wrong step. She wasn't as formal as Madelyn when it came to others and kept herself well protected and on guard at all times. "There shouldn't be too many people out where we are headed so I'll come with. Besides we'll need to get some sleep soon we are leaving at dawn unless you have already forgotten" she said playfully poking at Madelyn who blushed lightly.

Madelyn looked away from her pouting slightly "of course I haven't..." She mumbled lightly which made Zaleria laugh more. "Let's go then." She said turning her attention back to Leon. "You'll have to excuse her she has no manners." She said poking back at Zaleria who pretended to be hurt by her comment making Madelyn smile more. Madelyn then began leading the small party into town. She chose streets that had the least people and were dimly lit. "Sorry for all the back ways Mr. Stark but Zaleria isn't very welcome her " she said wanting to leave it at that.

They soon reached the shop. It was medium sized and seemed a little shady. Zaleria opened the door and held it open for the others before she would follow them in. "Madelyn it's been a while I don't suppose you've decided to hand your unique companion over" a husky male voice had begun to say before he saw Leon following her then Zaleria. "Well well looks like you have something else for me." He said before turning his attention to Leon. "Let's see what you got" he said before leading them over to a large table which was perfectly lit for observation.

Zaleria remained near the door leaning her back against the wall but her gaze never leaving them, especially Madelyn.

Rin Hotaru

As Rin lay now asleep on her brother's bed she could feel Mathias' energy and the surge of power as his adrenaline increased with his attack. She then snapped awake yelling out "Kaito!" She touched her head gently feeling light headed from siting up so fast. It took her a minute to figure out where she was this time. Once she had she knew exactly where her brother would be. She stood up a little woozy but made it to the door only to find herself locked in. She sighed before focusing and absorbing the electricity. Electricity was hard for her to absorb since her main element was water but she would be able to pass it off to her brother soon enough she hoped.

With her new freedom she began following Mathias' presence. She was controlling her intake of him more so that he wasn't so overwhelming to her. She was getting closer to the room that Mathias and her brother and of course Avalon had to be in, but had to stop half way to configure herself and her mind. She took a minute to take a deep breath and block out more of Mathias by narrowing her intake to it was steadily flowing within her like waves flowing onto a beach. She wondered if when she saw this Mathias guy would overwhelm her again.

Kaito Hotaru

Kaito glanced at Avalon from his peripheral vision. He knew this was all a plan that Avalon wanted to happen. He hated to play into his agenda but he had to this time. He looked at Mathias and could tell he was strong and he would have to be careful.

It was then that Mathias attacked. Kaito bent his knees slightly before jumping high into the air. The miasma met the tower of wind and went around it harshly. Once Kaito reached the peek of his jump he launched his counter attack with his own wave. He had crossed his blades in front of his chest and whipped them out forming the large wave. It was a thick wave of electricity shaped like a crescent moon headed straight for Mathias.

Below him the tower of wind acted like a funnel allowing the miasma to pull up towards him before he severed it half way up letting the wind and the miasma fan out and disperse. He remained in the air on a disc of wind that supported his position. He then pointed his left blade straight up above his head and a large thunder cloud began to form above them covering the ceiling with multiple large dark clouds.  

[NeophantomX]

Leon Stark

Leon simply smiled lightly and nodded at both Madelyn and Zaleria as they volunteered to lead him to a shop to sell all those monster parts he had collected. " Don't worry about it a mercenary like myself is used to far worse. Besides it's natural for someone to be cautious around a stranger they just met. " spoke Leon casually. He was used to far worse manners than that as he had said and he meant what he said about being cautious around strangers as well. When they mentioned getting going Leon simply nodded and followed along with them. He wasn't sure why but he felt he could trust this Madelyn enough to believe that she wasn't leading him into a trap so he had no reason not to follow them. When Madelyn mentioned the reason why they were taking mostly back ways Leon simply nodded understanding full well what she was talking about. He assumed it had something to do with her race and those eyes she had when she looked into his own. Combined with the white hair like that it was definitely unusual for an elf to have. So he was not about to try and dig into it as it was clearly none of his business to pry into.

Once they got to their destination Leon couldn't help but smirk some at the shop, mostly at the realization that without his guides here he would have definitely not found this place and would have been forced to carry all that blasted loot all the way to the next town. It definitely appeared he owed them one for this. Leon silently followed the pair inside and only smiled inwardly when the husky male voice spoke out about what they had for him. Following the man over to the table he did as directed and pulled out his bag releasing the contents all over the table so they could all be seen. There was quite a stockpile of various parts taken from monsters covering the table completely, Leon making sure they did not fall off as he took them out for convenience sake if nothing else. Professionalism also played a part of course though. " There that's everything I acquired from a nest of monsters I took out recently. All of them are for sale so make me an offer." stated Leon calmly.

Mathias Knight of Chaos

Mathias looked on calmly as Kaito got around his initial attack with a tower of wind. As Kaito's own attack came at him Mathias expression became even more intense with his eyes almost seeming like he was in some sort of trance. The dark miasma like aura around him grew even more powerful and thick as it soon coated his entire body like some sort of strange armor. The armor than expanded before compressing itself tightly around Mathias body and sword as he suddenly swung his blade, the force of which was far higher than his first swing showing that the first swing was him still getting used to the blade again after all that time in the seal. And the aura actually seemed to make him even stronger as he simply swiped his sword at the wave of electricity the aura on the sword easily dissipating the wave. " Chaos itself is my power, my curse. And with it my power may grow without limits. Now you too will perish and become fuel for my power." stated Mathias as he suddenly vanished, appearing suddenly right in front of Kaito as he slashed at him with his blade attempting to rend him in two. He had now identified just what that strange miasma like aura was in truth, chaos itself in a somewhat tangible form, and that was one of the two reasons he had the title of Knight of Chaos.  

[FoxgirlSaika]

Zaleria Nallvir

and

Madelyn Vontrap

The shop keeper looked it over running his fingers over each part inspecting everything with a fine toothed comb as they would say. He then looked to Madelyn before looking to Leon giving him a once over. "Since she brought you and this is your first time dealing with me and what you have here is quite a bit i'll give you this much" he said before passing a paper he had scribbled a number on. It was more then most would have bought the items for. "dont think this will be a habit though i wont be as generous the next time unless you through in that little vixen" he said tilting his head to Zaleria who rolled her eyes. He laughed a big burly laugh before turning his attention back to Leon. "so do we have a deal?" he asked holding out his hand.



Madelyn was curious as to what he had written but knew it was none of her business. She knew it would be more then most pay for it because he always did that for first time sellers so they would return or speak well of him. He usually paid very well for the monster parts even if they weren't a first time customer but a returning customer. It also depended on the rarity of the items the rare they were the more he would pay for them. She knew he must have another business going because he always sold his creations at slightly lower prices then his customers even though they might be finer grade. She knew he had a good heart deep down once you get past his perverted exterior. Madelyn then looked to Zaleria whose eyes met hers before turning her attention to Leon to see what his decision would be.

Rin Hotaru

Fell to her knees her hand still braced against the wall beside her as Mathias increased his power. She could hear the creatures growling in protest all around her. The area was a buzz with defiance and angst. They despised Mathias but she couldn't understand why. She thought that Mathias would make them rejoice because he was what Avalon wanted and thus like herself she assumed he would be able to control the creatures. She struggled to her feet. Her legs wobbled and quaked below her in defiance of her advance toward the room but she move forward despite them. One step after another she drew closer until she finally reached the edge of the door way. The electrical current and chaos in the room were overwhelmingly strong she almost decided to not turn the corner.

But she had to know she had to see with her own eyes what was going on. She could feel her brother and Mathias fighting and wondered where that left Avalon. She placed a hand on the door frame gently bracing herself and almost pulling herself into the door way. Her whole body trembled with the presence of Mathias. She felt like she had been hit in the stomach because all the air from her lungs had vanished and she found it hard to breath in another breath. Her hair and clothes wiped violently around her drew to her brothers presence and his wind attacks. She reached a hand up and pulled the hair back from her face holding it behind her ear so she could see unhindered. It was then electricity shot from her core, the electricity she had absorbed earlier, shooting up into the clouds before a crack of thunder sounded out filling the hall. A light rain fall began to fall from the dark clouds in her presence.

Kaito Hotaru

The air began to spark and crackle with electricity just like Kaito's eyes that were locked on Mathias. Just before Mathias had finished talking the clouds above them had filled the ceiling with a dark veil buzzing with power. Kaito stood in place as Mathias appeared before with a smirk on his face. Kaito was amused by the fight and had set his anger at Avalon aside. Just as Mathias had begun his swing in that same split second Kaito vanished with a flash of lightning before appearing behind Mathias in the same fashion. He wasn't directly behind him but now was centered in the room remaining on the same plane they had been on. He thrust his right blade forward casting a blast of wind towards Mathias.

Kaito's whole being gave off the presence of lightning his speed, movements and even himself. He was buzzing with electrical energy not only charging up from the air around them but from his core. It was as if he was lightning itself in human form. Kaito suddenly turned his attention to his sister as she appeared in the door way before the rain began to fall. He then moved like lightning to stand before her with his back to her. He knew he didn't have to that Avalon would have protected her if she was in danger but he didn't trust him for a second especially not with his sister. "You shouldn't be here" was all he muttered. His voice was harsher then he intended but was strong and protective none the less.  

[NeophantomX]

Leon Stark

Leon waited patiently as the man looked over everything with almost literally a fine tooth comb. Leon understood the desire to make sure everything is of good quality and to identify parts for rareness and such. He respected the man for his professionalism in that regard, though he did get a slight chuckle out of the man's remark on throwing in the little vixen next time for a generous offer. He had to admit the man was persistent if nothing else as well as a good salesman/ business man. He looked over the man's offer when it was presented and judged it to be more than fair from Leon's own quick appraisal he made when he collected them all. " Hmm very well your offer seems quite reasonable I accept. A pleasure doing business with you. Oh and my name is Leon, If I will be doing more business with you in the future then you should probably know at least that much. I apologize for my discourtesy of not mentioning my name sooner." spoke Leon as he shook the man's hand to conclude their deal. The deal was for about 320 gold pieces more than fair as most more common markets would have only given about 280 or so depending on there individual appraisals of the items.

Mathias Knight of Chaos

Mathias quickly picked up on Kaito's new location through his senses and rapidly turned as he used sheer force to easily shrug off the wind strike, the wall behind Mathias cracking and denting inwards forming a crater where Kaito's wind attack had collided with it. He then did a rather odd thing as he took his sword and pointed the blade upwards towards the storm clouds swirling overhead as the rain began coming down. He then released his sword as it actually flew upwards into the clouds vanishing from view hidden by the clouds above. He then held out both of his hands as they began crackling with power as chaos energy swirled around them thickly as it danced around as if excited by the challenge. The chaos then swirled upwards into the clouds and around the chamber. Before suddenly it poured back out of the clouds some of Kaito's lightning seemingly trapped around it as it actually struck back into Mathias body as if it was second nature. Mathias eyes flashed for but a moment as his body seemed to be almost tasting and testing the electricity sample the chaos energy brought back. Then as if on cue black lightning surged fourth from Mathias hands crackling and dancing around him wildly at first before it began to move with more purpose, clearly now under control with Mathias now used to how it worked.

The black lightning then surged upwards into the clouds mixing with them almost naturally as black lightning began coursing through all of them just like Kaito's own electricity leveling the playing field. " Chaos corrupts all it touches, not even nature can resist it's pull. Even I have lost all that mattered to it." spoke Mathias with an odd hint of sadness with that last bit. He clearly intended to simply fill the entire room with utter devastation as if he couldn't hit Kaito who moved at lightning speed then he would simply strike everything at once with something of similar speed, aka his new black lightning made from melding Kaito's lightning sample with chaos energy within him to create his own black lightning variant. His skill with it however was no where near Kaito's level who grew up wielding lightning though Mathias believed it would be enough to get things moving. As he could not yet enter his true Chaos form and maintain control he wanted things to get moving one way or another to force his body to recover more from its long sealing.

That however was when he actually took notice of Rin's presence as Kaito moved in front of her as if to shield her from stray attacks or for some other unknown reason that did not matter even slightly to Mathias. Still though Mathias could not help but feel somehow odd when he looked at her and he quickly realized why when he felt her odd presence somehow inside his head connecting her to him somehow. His eyes focusing on her momentarily he saw her connection to him as some kind of attack intended to weaken him, as well as something oddly familiar about it that only served to anger him more for reasons even Mathias didn't fully understand. " Insignificant fool trying to weaken me with some cheap trick. Perish for your transgressions." declared Mathias with unusual anger as his sword came plummeting down from the clouds at unbelievable speed spiraling like a drill, cloaked completely in both potent black lightning as well as pure chaos energy blanketing it. The spiraling sword headed right for Rin with the clear intent on wiping her out as the source of Mathias anger. Avalon sensing the shift of intent and not willing to let Rin die when he was not done with her yet quickly began preparing a few spells. A couple of which were special barrier spells to protect Rin from this current attack once he saw what Kaito would do as he did not want to strike Kaito by mistake in the chaos of everything happening at once. The other two were to stop Mathias from attacking her again after if need be.

Zaleria Nallvir

and

Madelyn Vontrap

The owner smirked “I like a man that keeps cool you come back anytime Leon. I guess I have been a little rude myself” he said as he reached to his belt lifting up his tunic slightly before a light jiggle of coins could be heard. “My name is Branimir. However if that’s hard to remember Bran is just fine” he said before moving his new stock to the back and returning to the room. He then tossed a bag on the table that clinked like gold. “Now you lot get out of here before I change my mind about letting you leave” he said before raising his eye brows at them and winking at Zaleria. Zaleria responded with a glare before pushing open the door with one hand. Madelyn curtseyed “’Always a pleasure doing business with you Branimir” she said before heading for the door.



It was then that she turned her attention to Zaleria once they were outside. “So which is it tonight” she asked. ”you know I won’t choose any other place for myself but based on our location there’s not really a choice for me to make now is there” she said looking at Madelyn. Madelyn was biting her lower lip happily as she physically bounced up and down once with Zaleria’s acknowledgement of where they would be spending the night. She then smiled happily before looking to Leon “did you have plans for the night or would you like to join us for dinner. It will be at my parent’s house and I’m sure we’ll have an extra room if you would like to stay the night” she said kindly. Her innocence and trusting nature striking again.

Rin Hotaru

Rin could only sense Mathias' power and his presence everything else about him was lost to her. She could hear him when he spoke as if it were thoughts in her mind but that was all at this point in time. He was to overwhelming to her for anything else to slip through. Even now she felt weak and that was just being so close to him. Her eyes were glued to him as soon as she had entered the room watching every movement almost in slow motion to her. She found she couldn't even move her body was heavy and seemed like it lacked the muscle to move at all. If she did move it was slightly and in that same slow motion.

Kaito Hotaru

Kaito watched as Mathias began to intertwine his elements with his own chaos creation his own black lightning. Kaitos glare deepened as he watched Mathias and could sense Rin wasn't going anywhere. He couldn't tell if she was marveled by it or if she was stunned. He didn't care as soon as Mathias had his outburst and attacked Kaito knew what he had to do and that was protect Rin even if it cost him his life.

Kaito began moving his blades in a pattern that almost looked like he was raving with glow sticks. As he moved you could see the lightning in his body streaming through his veins and buzzing in his eyes. His eyes changed from his normal red eyes to a bright blue that consumed the inter eye socket. The tattoo on his shoulder took on the same brightness but it had greens and blues instead of its normal light blue. Electricity dance on his skin so much that it was visible just looking at him. His white hair began to float as if gravity no longer affected it. Just as Mathias had finished speaking the earth shook below and the skies rumbled above. A dragon of earth pulled from the floor spiraling around the pair almost in an air tight seal. There was only a little hole in the back that was hardly big enough for a bug. At the same time the clouds trialed down towards them forming another dragon that buzzed with electricity just as Kaito did. The dragon of earth had glowing green eyes while the dragon of storm had glowing electric blue eyes. The dragon of storm swirled itself around the dragon of earth just before the blade his.

The electric chaos from the blade was begin absorbed into the storm dragon which filled the room with cracks of lighting and thunder a booming orchestra of pain and power. The blade passed through the storm dragon and as it had it began to disperse and the earth dragon could be seen which now had extra layers of thick scales which appeared to have moss between the layers as it seeped around the edges of each scale. The blade bore into the earth dragon sending scales and moss flying out as they were torn off. You could see the blade slowing in its rotation as some moss struggled to wrap around it before vines joined and then the earth itself. The whole room shook if not the whole temple. It felt like someone was bombing the outside but much more violent. The dragon struggled but managed to pull the rest of its body up and spiral it around the blade. When it move revealing Rin and Kaito the blade could be seen inches from impaling Rin's head and Kaito appeared made of earth himself. Places of the rock was broken off and a small puddle of blood vibrated around his feet. His skin was lit with the black lightning but his tattoo and eyes still shined brightly through it all. His hair still pure white and glittered light spider webs in the light. He could not be corrupted as he stood because his motivation at that moment was the purest anyone could have. It was out of love that he protected his sister. He was willing to die if it meant she lived. His eyes were still glued to Mathias as the sword no longer moved and was wrapped in the earth dragon that had bitten the hilt. Occasional moss and rubble fell from the dragon from the sheer strain of holding the sword but it was holding at that’s all that mattered.
